Bit of a strange one I noticed this morning.
At one point 196 clients connected, though I have less than 40.
Looking in the client map they appear to come from one device - my phone - a pixel 9, unmodified and all trusted apps that I've used for years. Firing up my old phone with same apps didn't increase the client count.
Didn't seem to affect performance, though I did have one device that didn't seem to route traffic, I didn't try but likely a reboot of that device would have fixed its connectivity issue.
Using Aimesh with an AX88U running latest Merlin release firmware, the Aimesh node showed the correct client count.
Rebooted phone and froze/paused the apps that do have background permission. Client list continued to grow. Disabled WiFi on the phone and router slowly lowered the client count.
A reboot of the router seems to have resolved everything.
All very weird, could point to an issue, so I'm detailing it here in case!
